About Us


Dawson Family Cockers is an inspected, State Licensed kennel and an inspected AKC licensed kennel. We are located in State College, nestled in the beautiful mountains of Central Pennsylvania. We raise the sweetest, healthy Champion line Cocker Spaniel puppies, who are very much a part of our family. We thoroughly enjoy their friendship and devotion as well as their love. Our Cocker puppies are raised in our home with lots of love and special attention to their needs. We have found that the Cocker Spaniel is one of the most loving and devoted dogs a family could ever have. Our girls visit the local rehab and enjyo senior citizens. The also enjoy children, having visited schools as well as kids camps during the summer months. They love being in the middle of whatever is happening.

Cocker Spaniels are great family dogs. They were so good with our kids and brought us so much joy that we decided we needed to give other people the opportunity to enjoy the breed as well. It became my desire to raise quality pups with sweet and loving personalities, for loving and caring homes. We have been very careful to breed from the best of champion lines to help ensure the health, beauty, temperament, and standard of the breed. We ask families that are interested in purchasing one of our puppies to number and answer the questions on our FAQ page. We want to make sure that our puppies are placed in homes that are prepared for them. After your application has been approved, we ask that you send in a non-refundable $200 deposit to old a puppy. All puppies are held in the order of the received deposits. The remainder of the cost can be paid when you arrive to take your new puppy home. We notify you when the Momma is in labor and send pictures to you each week until your puppy is ready to come home at 8 weeks of age. We have found that families have enjoyed being a part of the growth and development process of their dogs. Our puppies will come to their new home well socialized and with their first shots, tails docked, dew claws removed, vet checked, health certificate, and guaranteed.

A Dawson Family Cocker will bring you years of joy and devotion. I look forward to the opportunity to talk with you.

Remember that all deposits are non-refundable and can be applied to a future litter. Please do no ask us to refund a deposit.

May God Richly Bless You,
Cheryl Dawson

Family & Friends

All of our family and friends are very much involved with loving and caring for our dogs.  These puppies get plenty of attention.

“I first fell in love with Cocker Spaniels when I was 5 or 6 years old. I can remember being so excited seeing a Cocker Spaniel for the first time in our new set of World Book Encyclopedias. I decided at that age that I wanted to have one of my own. Years later, I got my first cocker when my husband and I were married, that’s over 30 years now. While our children were growing up, we had a wonderful buff girl named Allie. We soon ended up adding several more to our family.”
